Volkswagen Rental in Orlando, FL – Jetta & Tiguan
Rent-Trip offers Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen Tiguan rentals in Orlando, Florida, with rates from $50 to $65 per day before tax, and weekly and monthly options available. Our fleet of 90 cars across 10 classes includes these two Volkswagens, with delivery options, including to Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB). Every car comes clean with a full tank.
Choosing a Volkswagen Rental in Orlando for Your Trip
Rent-Trip offers Volkswagen models such as the Jetta sedan and Tiguan crossover, and the right choice depends on your group size and travel plans in Central Florida. Both seat five, run on gasoline, and shift automatically, so the choice comes down to trunk space, drivetrain, and budget.
Jetta: Economy Sedan for MCO Airport Runs and City Driving
The Volkswagen Jetta is available for $50 per day before tax and is classified in our Economy class — a sedan with 5 seats, front-wheel drive, and a 1.5 L engine making 158 hp. For a couple flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and staying near International Drive, the Jetta is a lighter option that handles well in the hotel loop and fits into tight parking garages near the Convention Center. The trunk fits two standard checked suitcases with room for carry-ons, and the 1.5 L engine delivers reasonable fuel economy for the stop-and-go of US-192 and Semoran Boulevard. Front-wheel drive is set out in the rental agreement for paved Central Florida roads, where the terrain is flat and there is no snow or ice to plan for. Visitors who stay within the metro area and skip long road trips rarely need more than this sedan offers.
Tiguan: All-Wheel-Drive Crossover for Families and Road Trips
The Volkswagen Tiguan is available for $65 per day before tax and is part of our Crossovers class. The higher roofline makes buckling a booster into the back seat of the Tiguan noticeably easier than leaning into a sedan, which can be convenient for families with children and car seats. The AWD system can be helpful during summer afternoons, when thunderstorms roll through between 2 and 6 PM and wet roads become slick — all-wheel drive adds confidence on I-4 in the rain and on the ramp from SR 528 onto the Beachline. For a week that includes the Space Coast launch sites and Cocoa Beach, the Tiguan offers ample space for a family, and its 2.0 L engine keeps highway passing effort low if the trip stretches to Tampa or Clearwater.
Jetta vs Tiguan: Side-by-Side Specs
| Model | Class | Body | Seats | Engine | Drive | Power | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen Jetta | Economy | Sedan | 5 | 1.5 L gasoline | Front-wheel | 158 hp | $50 |
| Volkswagen Tiguan | Crossovers | Crossover | 5 | 2.0 L gasoline | All-wheel | 201 hp | $65 |
Both Volkswagens come with automatic transmission and run on Regular 87 gasoline, sold by the gallon at self-service pumps across the metro area. The Jetta is a good option for couples and solo business travelers mindful of the daily rate, while the Tiguan, for an extra $15 per day, offers more space for families and those driving I-4 toward Tampa or the Gulf coast.
Jetta and Tiguan Costs for Volkswagen Rental in Orlando
Both Volkswagens are priced below the middle of our fleet, with the Jetta at $50/day and the Tiguan at $65/day, before tax. Weekly and monthly bookings can lower the per-day cost, with rates varying by class.
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Rates for Both Volkswagens.
- Jetta daily: $50/day, before tax — the starting rate for Volkswagen rentals in Orlando for solo travelers and couples.
- Tiguan daily: $65/day, before tax — $15 more than the Jetta for all-wheel drive and extra cargo space.
- Jetta weekly: from $300, before tax — the weekly rate equals six daily rates.
- Tiguan weekly: from $390, before tax — same six-day math applied to the higher daily rate.
- Jetta monthly: from $1,050, before tax — the monthly rate equals 21 daily rates.
- Tiguan monthly: from $1,365, before tax — the same 21-day formula, with per-day pricing.
Taxes and Fees Added When You Pay
Rates shown here exclude tax; at payment, a sales tax based on the pickup county and the $2/day Florida rental car surcharge (first 30 days) will apply. Return the Jetta or Tiguan in Orange County — most of Orlando, International Drive, Lake Buena Vista — and the sales tax is 6.5%; cross into Osceola County for Kissimmee or Celebration and it rises to 7.5%, while Seminole County (Sanford, where SFB sits) and Polk County (Davenport) sit at 7%. The surcharge is set out in the rental agreement and does not change by location.
| Volkswagen model | Daily | Weekly (6 days) | Monthly (21 days) | Sales tax at hand-over |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jetta | $50 | $300 | $1,050 | 6.5% Orange / 7% Seminole or Polk / 7.5% Osceola |
| Tiguan | $65 | $390 | $1,365 | 6.5% Orange / 7% Seminole or Polk / 7.5% Osceola |
The sales tax rate applied to your rental is determined by the county where you pick up the car, and the exact amount will be set out in the rental agreement when booking.

Free Delivery to MCO and SFB
We deliver the Jetta and the Tiguan to Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB) at no extra charge. At MCO, that means terminals A, B and C — including the south complex where the Brightline station sits; at SFB, we meet you at the terminal. The meeting point is agreed when you book by phone or WhatsApp. The car is waiting with a full tank, and you return.
Delivery Across Greater Orlando
Free delivery is available across Greater Orlando, with terms set out in the rental agreement. We deliver the Volkswagen to International Drive, Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee, Celebration, Davenport, Downtown Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Nona, and the rest of the area — delivery day and time window are set out in the rental agreement. The car is provided, so you can drop your bags and drive to your destination. The return location is set out in the rental agreement.
Return fuel: bring the car back with a full tank. Contract: sign it in person at hand-over, and the keys are provided. Cancellation: if a Hurricane Warning is issued for Orange, Osceola or Seminole County, or MCO or SFB closes, rebooking is free as set out in the rental agreement.
Documents You Need to Rent a Volkswagen in Florida
Renting a Volkswagen in Orlando requires a physical driver's license, a passport for international visitors, and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold. We handle the paperwork for you when you book on WhatsApp or by phone.
Your home license is sufficient — no IDP required.
Florida law (HB 7059, signed in 2013) accepts a valid driver's license from your home country for renting and driving in the state, so an International Driving Permit is not required as per the rental agreement. If your license is not printed in English, an IDP or a certified translation is recommended as a translation for police officers and insurers if you are ever stopped. What matters most is that you bring the physical card: the requirements for the license are set out in the rental agreement. A photo of your license on your phone is not accepted.
Age Rules and the Physical License Card
- Minimum age: You must be at least 21 to rent a Volkswagen from us; drivers aged 21–24 pay a young-driver fee, the amount of which is set out in the rental agreement.
- Physical license card: Florida law (FS 322.38) requires us to inspect the license and witness your signature, so digital licenses on a phone are not accepted.
- Passport for international visitors: bring it alongside your license so we can verify your identity and home address.
- Bank card in the main driver's name: We use it for the security hold, and the hold amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Some classes require 25+: premium vehicles and passenger vans may need drivers aged 25 or older — the Jetta and Tiguan are fine from 21, but check the agreement for any class-specific rule.
The document check at delivery, whether at MCO, SFB, or your hotel in Greater Orlando, takes a few minutes. We recommend sending photos of your license and passport on WhatsApp when you book, so we can confirm everything is in order before the car arrives.
Orlando Roads, Tolls, and Rules for Your Rented Volkswagen
Central Florida's roads include free interstates and all-electronic toll roads, and your Volkswagen is equipped for both. Every vehicle in our fleet carries an E-PASS or SunPass transponder, so you never stop to pay cash — tolls are recorded and re-invoiced as set out in the rental agreement. Posted speed limits are in miles per hour: 70 mph on interstates and the Turnpike, 65 mph on other four-lane highways, 55 mph on regular roads and 30 mph in residential areas.
Toll Roads and the E-PASS Transponder as Set Out in Your Rental Agreement
If you fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO) and head to International Drive, you will likely take SR 528 Beachline, a toll road where the typical E-PASS charge runs about $1.75–$2.50. The trip from MCO to the Lake Buena Vista area on SR 417 costs roughly $3–$5, and reaching Port Canaveral via SR 528 adds about $3–$4. Because the tolls are all-electronic, there are no booths — the transponder in your vehicle handles the charge, and toll billing terms are agreed when booking. Clients who arrive and depart through Orlando International Airport (MCO) can skip the transponder entirely: the free CFX Visitor Toll Pass, available in terminals A, B and C, offers transponder rates, though it is not offered at Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB). The I-4 Express lanes require a transponder, so if your route uses them, ensure the E-PASS is active.
Florida Driving Rules for Visitors
- Right turn on red: legal after a full stop unless a sign prohibits it — a common habit that speeds up city driving on US-192 and Semoran Blvd.
- School buses: stop for a bus with flashing red lights from both directions on an undivided road; cameras in school zones can issue a $100 ticket.
- Move Over law: change lanes or slow down when you pass a stopped emergency vehicle on the shoulder.
- Hands-free zones: no texting while driving, and phones must be hands-free only in school and work zones; headlights go on whenever the wipers are running.
- Child seats: Under Florida law, children under 6 must ride in a car seat or booster, which can be arranged as set out in the rental agreement.
- Fuel stops: Gas is sold by the gallon at self-service pumps, and payment for foreign cards without a US ZIP code is handled at the counter inside — pay there before pumping.
Summer afternoons bring near-daily thunderstorms between 2 and 6 PM, so expect wet roads on the SR 528 approach to MCO and allow extra minutes for your return. The all-wheel drive on a Tiguan adds confidence on slick pavement, but the speed limit still applies — cameras on the I-4 Express lanes and toll roads issue citations to the vehicle owner, and those are re-invoiced as set out in the rental agreement.
Renting a Volkswagen With a Driver for Orlando Trips
Some trips here are better when you can relax and enjoy the ride. A Volkswagen with a professional driver can turn travel time into downtime for your group to talk, work, or simply watch the scenery roll by. Rent-Trip offers this option by the hour, from 4 hours, for journeys across Central Florida, transfers to MCO or SFB, and excursions to the coast.
When a Chauffeur-Driven VW Makes Sense
- Airport (MCO or SFB) transfers: arrive at MCO or SFB and let the driver handle the bags and the SR 528 traffic while you relax after the flight.
- Group excursions: a 45-mile drive to the Space Coast launch sites or a 55-mile run to Daytona Beach feels shorter when you are not the one merging onto I-4.
- Celebrations and photoshoots: A Tiguan or Jetta with a driver keeps everyone together and on schedule, with parking at the venue handled.
- Evening plans: After dinner on Restaurant Row or a late show near Universal, the driver waits while your party enjoys the evening — no designated driver needed, as the rental agreement is signed in person at hand-over.
The driver's hourly rate is quoted when you book on WhatsApp or by phone, and the rental starts at 4 hours. Travel to other US states can be arranged at booking; driving into Mexico or Canada is not allowed. When you book, tell us your itinerary — we'll confirm the route, meeting point, and total time before you commit. Drop-off and pick-up arrangements are set out in the rental agreement.
What Is Included in Every Volkswagen Rental
Every Volkswagen rental through Rent-Trip includes the essentials in the price: state-minimum liability coverage and a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) are included, so the rate you see for the Jetta or Tiguan covers the base protection. The LDW is a waiver, not insurance — its terms are set out in the rental agreement. What is not included are taxes: 6.5% sales tax in Orange County plus the $2-per-day Florida rental car surcharge are added when you pay, and the tax rate is set out in the rental agreement.
Protection Included in the Price
LDW and state-minimum liability coverage are included in the daily, weekly and monthly rates for both Volkswagens. The Loss Damage Waiver and liability coverage are described in the rental agreement, which also outlines the deductible and exclusions. A bank card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold, the amount of which is set out in the rental agreement.
Child Seats, Hurricane Warnings, and Rental Agreement Terms are provided at hand-over.
- Child seats and boosters: Required by Florida law for children under 6 (FS 316.613) — availability and terms are set out in the rental agreement.
- Hurricane cancellation: Rebooking or cancellation is free when the National Hurricane Center issues a Hurricane Warning for Orange, Osceola or Seminole County, or when MCO or SFB is closed.
- Rental agreement: The rental agreement is signed in person at hand-over, as set out in the rental agreement, so at the meeting point you just take the keys and check the car.
- Unlimited Florida mileage: Drive the Jetta or Tiguan anywhere in the state without per-mile charges; trips to other US states are agreed when booking.
- Full tank both ways: The VW arrives clean with a full tank and is returned with a full tank.
The car is equipped for electronic tolling with E-PASS or SunPass, and tolls are billed; clients flying in and out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) can use the free CFX Visitor Toll Pass instead. Traffic-camera tickets, unpaid tolls, and parking citations are issued to the vehicle owner and re-invoiced to the renter as set out in the rental agreement.
